The Tri-Speeder (トライスピード) is a kart body in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is a three-wheeled kart that is painted green and sports an open engine from the front facing northeast, and two pistons in the shape of mushrooms. The Tri-Speeder's stats greatly help in Off-Road situations.
CPU-controlled Morton, Wario and Link occasionally use this body. Morton uses it with the Monster tires, Wario uses it with the Off-Road tires, and Link uses it with the Triforce Tires.
